Need a name for a novel about the Antichrist saving humanity from God. - Think Atheist2016-12-09T13:41:42Zhttp://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/need-a-name-for-a-novel-about-the-antichrist-saving-humanity-from?commentId=1982180%3AComment%3A894517&xg_source=activity&feed=yes&xn_auth=noHmm, I think if you actually…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2011-10-25:1982180:Comment:9068822011-10-25T08:29:32.501ZCathy Rosshttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/CathyRoss
<p>Hmm, I think if you actually end up using "The Bible: Part II", you're going to draw a lot of attention from big, ugly churchies with lawsuits (unless you're not in America, in which case - go for it!).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a few suggestions:</p>
<p>- The First Horseman</p>
<p>- Perdition's End</p>
<p>- Abaddon's Gift</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, in the sequels, I'd probably steer away from suffixes that imply changing time (like Joe Donnachie suggested - sorry, dude!). It just reminds me a…</p>

<p>Hi - yes a bit, but more action/suspense rather than thoughtful and humourous. Mine will be on a very short list of "anti-apocalyptic" novels.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>One of the great things about religious language is that they have had thousands of years to work on the poetry of it. One of the things that makes it so seductive. Anyway, a great word for the second coming of Christ that Christains use a lot is "Parousia". Lovely isn't it. I've googled and it doesn't seem to have been used at all for fiction titles. The great thing is Christians must google 'Parousia' all the time and when they read a segment of your book they will get all…</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>One of the great things about religious language is that they have had thousands of years to work on the poetry of it. One of the things that makes it so seductive. Anyway, a great word for the second coming of Christ that Christains use a lot is "Parousia". Lovely isn't it. I've googled and it doesn't seem to have been used at all for fiction titles. The great thing is Christians must google 'Parousia' all the time and when they read a segment of your book they will get all hot and bothered and pretty much do your marketing for you.</p>
<p>I thought maybe "The Parousia War" promises action and conflict without signaling the satirical content, which is what I think your after.</p>
<p>Series Title:</p>
<p>The Parousia War</p>
<p>Part I: Parousia Dawn</p>
<p>Part II: Parousia Noon</p>
<p>Part III: Parousia Night</p>
<p>The part titles keep the "Parousia" name going and use a simple progression to emphasise the order they come in.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope it all goes well,</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
